Express Sport rates how the Manchester United players performed during their Premier League clash with West Bromwich Albion

At the start of the season, they were dominating teams and being tipped to challenge City for the crown.

However, the MEN say Mourinho wanted his side to go a goal down in a game to see whether they have the confidence to be crowned champions.

And he supposedly thinks Liverpool and Chelsea may be stronger next season.

The Reds could cap off a stunning season under Jurgen Klopp by winning the Champions League.

Chelsea, meanwhile, have title experience in their squad despite Antonio Conte’s side experiencing a difficult campaign.

Jose Mourinho: Man Utd boss saw his side lose 1-0 to West Brom at Old Trafford on Sunday

Mourinho hit out at his United players yesterday, saying: “I know them, I smell, I have lots of experience and that’s not me because I won eight titles and I’m not on the moon because I won against Manchester City. A match that is only three points.

“I saw lots of people on the moon because we won against Manchester City.

“Like to win against City was the most important thing ever. I won too much to be happy with just one big victory.

“During the week I was trying to fight that because I was feeling it.

“You see the difference of attitude of some players today compared with other weeks; relax, too stylish, one more touch, one more turn, one more flick. Masters of complication.”
